Summer Concerts on the Square

Enjoy free, live music in Downtown Storrs, all summer long! The Mansfield Downtown Partnership will host free concerts on Betsy Paterson Square every Thursday in June, July and August. The concerts place from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM and are free and open to all ages to attend.

 

Thursday, July 2: Community Bluegrass Jam

Bring your (acoustic) instruments and join the Community Bluegrass Jam! All ages, all skill levels welcome to pick along - or just sit back and enjoy the music!

During a typical bluegrass jam, folks can suggest songs. For this jam, we will have a set list so that everyone can follow along. We will post the set list on our website closer to the event date, and we will have copies available at the jam.

Many thanks to Waldron's Studio 88 and the Mansfield Pickers for their support of the Community Bluegrass Jam!

 

Plan your visit

  • Limited seating is available on Betsy Paterson Square. You are welcome to bring your lawn chairs and/or blankets.

  • Parking is available in the Downtown Storrs Parking Garage, which is free for your first 2 hours and just $1/hour thereafter. The garage is about a 3-minute walk from Betsy Paterson Square.
